2024 OUTLOOK

”This season we are very excited to be led by a strong Senior class that has embodied great work ethic and character. Most of these Seniors have two years of experience at the Varsity level. We return a lot of innings on the mound and a large portion of our lineup. Behind our Seniors we will need some Juniors and Sophomores to take the next step and claim roles to help us achieve our goals. After not having the success we have sought the past couple of years, we will look to make some noise in a strong Northwest Suburban Conference and Section 7AAAA.” - Matt Mossey, Head Coach
